Quill
Meaning of Quill
For parents drawn to names that combine literary resonance with minimalist sensibility, Quill emerges as an appealing choice. Rooted in the Old English term for the feathered pen that shaped manuscripts of yore—and echoing the Gaelic surname MacCuill (“son of the hazel”)—Quill carries associations of creativity, intellect, and nature in a single syllable. Pronounced /kwɪl/, it evokes the image of a delicate plume dancing across parchment, a nod to both artisanal craft and poised self-expression. Though still a rarity, its steady rise in the United States—39 newborns christened Quill in 2024, placing it at number 885 after hovering in the mid-800s over the past decade—signals growing appreciation among Anglo-American families for names that feel both storied and singular. Understated yet evocative, Quill invites its bearer to script his own narrative with quiet confidence and a touch of dry wit.
